Books that weirded you out

American Gods by Neil Gaiman. I stopped reading it

I liked them, but I was like 'what the heck, nobody kills Odin! ANd then was like, oh wait, he's still good.

Except Fenrir I assume?

Cant say I've ever been weirded out by a book, even graphic depictions of Hell (The divine comedy) Don't phase me.
Well... Except one thing.
All through the book we've had punish this, plague that, torture the other-hand then we get to Cania (The first vale of the 9th level -reserved for traitors) and suddenly he will not speak of it.
What punishment could be so bad.

Thats always kinda haunted me.

That's more of a something.

Another particularly good one was Tarot by Piers Anthony. Weird story. Weird book.

Quite a few Angela Carter books...

they can be rather odd.

Slaughterhouse-Five for just being plain old weird.

I agree. Great book though.

A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess. I loved it, but it still made me cringe.
The Tears of Squonk, and What Happened Thereafter by Glen David Gold. <- So it's a short story, but it still weirded me out.

I'm not sure if anyone has read it, but gah. It was totally the part when they were leading Mary to the top of the hill to be hung. An elephant!!!

I just read this book called Becoming Bindy Mackenzie

Which is kinda weird but in a goodish way xD

Yeah I read that too. It was weird.

And I also loved A Clockwork Orange. Very very weird concepts, but it's one of my favourites.

The Tin Drum by Gunter Grass

Well, the entire book wasn't exactly weird, but there were distinct moments where I felt like something was very wrong.

One scene, a fisherman pulls out a severed horse's head from the water, which he used to bait eels. And then he pulls eels out of it. And then the narrator's mother throws up her breakfast right then and there, along with the squirming eels and the... horse head. She throws up again. Then the narrator's father buys the eels, brings them home, and cooks them. And then the mother (who is already quite a big girl), from that point on, goes completely bonkers, and starts gorging herself on seafood. All kinds. She swells and swells, until finally she DIES.

American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis

Very Graphic and strange but its one of my favourites.

The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides.

Love the style of writing and its peculiar form of story telling.
